Hot yoga

I'm sure you've heard of hot yoga before... have you tried it?? If so, let me know!

 

I did it for the first time this morning and it was just a beginner class (at least that's that they told us.. haha!). It was GREAT though. It's super intense and kind of hard to handle, but the feeling afterwards is fabulous.

 

You do yoga in a room that's 105 degrees and 40% humidity -- crazy, right?! It's gets crazy hot and you're drenched in sweat by the end. Having sweat pour off your body is a great feeling, though. Literally, you sweat in parts of your body that you didn't even know could sweat and by the end you can ring out your hair.

 

I highly recommend trying it at least once. Be prepared to sit down if you start to get dizzy or nauseous and only take a couple sips of water here and there throughout the class. You'll feel amazing after 90 minutes of... suffering. ;)

What do you do when you're at a loss for blogging inspiration?

Ladies, tell 'em

"We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls,
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man."
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes"

-Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in Flawless by Beyonce

Right now...

I'm craving a big cup of coffee,

 

classy clothes,

 

a day with lipstick,

 

the beauty of Summer,

 

a day of watching Titanic (which they just put on Netflix!!!) and eating Chipotle,

 

and a day back in the Empire State of Mind.
